Competitors also received free giveaways and discounts while playing the scavenger hunt. "We had a super fun time with the kid. This is a great way to discover a new neighborhood and hidden gem stores. Great for a family-friendly outing," said one player.
“We saw quite a bit of new traffic in our store during the scavenger hunt,” said Born Again Consignment Parlor Owner Summer Amin. “Many participants – from both in and outside the neighborhood – told us that they didn’t even know the shop existed until they started doing the Scavenger Hunt! My favorite part was seeing parents doing it with their young children! It was a great activity for families, friends, and Individuals... I would do it again!”
Funds generated from the Adventure's entry fee will benefit the area Near South Planning Board's local initiatives. An evergreen version of the Adventure has been made available to people to experience the Printers Row neighborhood. The Get To Know Printers Row Scavenger Hunt is available to play on the eATLAS app.
“We’re happy to be able to support independent, local businesses in this initiative, and kudos to them for bringing much-needed services and activities to the neighborhood. It’s great to see small businesses investing in the community!” exclaimed Near South Planning Board’s President & Executive Director Bonnie Sanchez-Carlson.
